Resident Alien Trailer Plays Up Comedy

The Resident Alien TV series announced almost a year ago now has a trailer.

While the show was described in terms of a “moral dilemma”, and I speculated it might resemble a procedural, this short video, as you might expect from a show starring Alan Tudyk, plays up the comedy.

But then, they’re plugging “from the humans behind Family Guy and Wedding Crashers“, so yeah. The show is “coming this summer” on Syfy. It’s based on the comic book series by Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse published by Dark Horse Comics. I’m curious as to how many episodes the first season will run, and if it’ll be episodic or have more of a continuing story arc, but I don’t believe that information is available yet.
